Local File-based Mailboxes -------------------------- If you happen to want to consume a file-based mailbox like an Maildir, Mbox, Babyl, MH, or MMDF mailbox, you can use this too by entering the appropriate 'protocol' in the URI. If you had a maildir, for example, at ``/var/mail/``, you would enter a URI like:: maildir:///var/mail Note that there is an additional ``/`` in the above URI after the protocol; this is important.
